Your computer logo doesn't look quite right compared to the rest of the site. It really needs a sleeker, more realistic look to it. I love the wrench though, that's a neat idea. You might want to make the wrench look a bit more metallic though..at first I thought it was a key!

I really think you should change your font to Arial or Verdana, as the one your currently have looks very small, even on my resolution! Also, you should change your link color to white instead of black, otherwise its a bit difficult to read.

I like how you've done your table corners, that's an interesting approach, but you should make it consistent all the way around the layout. I notice, for example, that the top left corner doesn't have a piece "missing", and the lower right corner has a piece cut in the wrong direction.

I really like "tips and tweaks" and the small wrench bullets. You have an interesting design. Keep up the good work and learn from others to help enrich your site.

Oops, I should clarify that I didnt mean for you to round the corners (I like them chopped like that. It looks computer-ish ) I just meant that every corner should be chopped in the right direction (like cutting the edges of a square).

I think your website has a great design. The colors are great, although the bg color could be a little lighter. I think you need a little something to spice things up, other than that everything looks great. Keep up the good work!

Try to stay away from Times New Roman. It looks to unprofessional. Some more colors would also help. Try to have something else that goes with blue. You menu would also look better in white. Itís too hard to read in black.

As far as the design goes it looks nice. The one thing that sticks out to me are your corners. To me they would look nicer if they had rounded edges. and the bottom bar which holds your copyright should extend all the way acroos to give things a more uniform look.

Nice design but I think it could be even better if you rounded off the corners, changed the font to verdana and got rid of the white lines between each link. I really like the spanner and the o but the computer looks like clipart and is too big. Also the advert doesn't show up but you might not have any adverts yet.

You said ignore the content, but there are broken links and top banner image. The site overall looks good, I like the color scheme, but reduce to smaller font size could be nicer. The logo on top left doesn't look interesting somehow. Anyway, very nice design.

On first view of the home page I notice that there is no 'tag line' to tell me, the user, why I should be here. AKA what's in it for me.

Second, and I know that you want subscribers but, you could use a search tool for the site. Some users like a instant route to what they are looking for. Currently I would have to browse the entire site to find the content relevent to my visit. And of course the best spot in the layout for this is where you have the subscribe box.

I like the layout it kind of reminds me of the old punch cards. Those other reviewers just didn't get it. Don't round off the corners. Great job with the breadcrumb at the top, and the action links at the top of feature stories.

I don't like the link color the same as the text. It is hard to spot the links when scanning the text. The site needs a little color in the main text area. Also try adding a little more cellpadding, 15 works good, to that area you'll be suprised at the results(readability).

Checking the HTML. You could cut down the file size a little by renaming spacer.gif to sp.gif and put it in the root directory. Everything else here looks good.

Hello, I thought the layout of you site was quite good. I too liked the Wrench picture, and I didn't mind the computer at all. I thought it went well with the rest of the lettering in the banner. The homepage is simple and loaded quickly...I liked it.
